Promoted as the first romantic comedy from a major studio about two gay men and the first studio film in history with an entirely LGBTQ principal cast, “Bros” finally arrives in San Francisco on September 30, after a sneak preview at the Castro Theatre on Sept 11. Co-writer and star comedian Billy Eichner explained in an interview with writer Brian Bromberger, along with co-star Luke MacFarlane, why it was essential to cast all the roles in that way. “The movie itself was becoming about allowing queer people to tell our own stories, to control our own stories,” said Eichner. “It felt like we needed to use this as an opportunity to populate the movie with openly LGBTQ actors and actresses [i.e. Jai Rodriguez, Amanda Bearse, Bowen Yang, Harvey Fierstein], trans people, and non-binary people who simply have not had these opportunities before based solely on who they were in their personal lives, which makes no sense.” Reposted from @bayareareporter Read more at www.ebar.com #Bros #BrosMovie #BillyEichner #LukeMacFarlane #gayromcom https://www.instagram.com/p/CivoO7cvP9A/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
